Dragondeep Specs (taken from character sheet sorry if the formatting is garbage)

Skills and Profession: as above

Personality: as above

Possessions: listed items include a mirror which can store people, items, or even open doors to another realm; Iron Flask item facilitates this; uses a crossbow with extra dangerous barbed bolts, and has a similar nasty dagger - these are in addition to his own tentacles and claws, fangs if you really get too close; you don't count his dragon as a possession, don't even think about it

 
History: on arriving to Dragondeep his life has changed significantly from wherever it was he came from. He was on board a ship with a bunch of others, when they were run aground and somehow whisked away to an entirely different planet... and there they were introduced to a bunch of dragons!?

Dragons that were absolutely not like those found on his homeworld, and clearly different even from those of this one. Dragondeep's waters were filled with dangerous ones, the skies as well, but it is in the low altitude between the treetops and the highest of their island's peaks, that Shortcut and Dewkith fly. There, they seem reasonably safe from being spotted from above by the massive local dragons, and still have a lot of room to maneuver. He likes this new life, people will have to just learn to live with his weird appearance and occasional behaviors that just don't seem to be very kind.

Speaking of kind, there's this one guy who is him here. And he has a batch of children that are all manner of shifters. What fun - he didn't know it was okay to breed with the locals! (hint: it's not, but his Convocation overseers don't know where he's gone to, and Ravenheart's don't care.)

 

Dragon


Name: Dewkith
Gender: Female
Size/Shoulder/Length: small 7' s / 36' l / 50' ws
Colors: standard medium green, lighter leafy green wingsails
Features: standard Pernese dragon with no headknobs, a jagged neck crest, and spaded tail
Powers: Winged Flight, prefers short hops and low canopy flying, and is extremely nimble among the trees and even down below in the grotto areas; can lift her rider even when he's a ... thing that he becomes, but he usually sticks with the normal human size for her to fly well
Teleportation/Genrehopping, because this dragon has paired up with a multidimensional person, she's highly likely to be able to move him through very odd spaces indeed; she can teleport for short distances locally, at most across the island, and would prefer to remain on that island rather than trying to reach the mainland either by flight or teleportation; her ability to move through dimensions however allows her to go back and forth from spots on Dragondeep that were - and are now not - there, or are changed from their original (such as the island that appeared with the Gelgelans). Anywhere that there is a Portal, however, she can reach using this power rather than her localized teleport, as they seem to act as a 'collection plate' for stray ports...
Telepathy, Dewkith is a smart dragon, but you won't know it because the only person she tends to speak to is her bond, and he is more than happy to keep any secrets she finds to himself. In a pinch she can definitely contact any of the dragons on the Grotto, those from off-world, but doesn't think she should try contacting local dragons for fear that they would just run them all off
Minor Telekinesis unlike some in her clutch, she is able to use this ability to a small degree, which keeps her rider from falling off, and allows her to occasionally move a tree limb or avoid getting hit by things in mid-air
Assisted Firebreath, who needs firebreath when you have a rider like hers with magic?!
Parentage: Green Lerhinath (Qenda, of Isla) + Cream male Dentanth (V'innie, of Isla)
Origin: Dragonhope Weyr Giveaway, Version 2 Year 9 clutch 2
Other Info: among the few that came to this world straight from their hatching, Dewkith and others enjoy the life of leisure... and diving for fish or finding sunken treasures while the other dragons of the world aren't around... oh that's delicious and makes for good trades!
